Do you ever feel like you are so far from the person you know that you are capable of being? For the longest time, that was the way I felt…even when I was doing everything I could to “be a better person”. If you relate, you are really going to appreciate this article.

I can remember, back when I was perpetually dieting, I would tell myself I was going to completely overhaul my diet on Monday,

Do you ever find yourself saying that you’re going to get started on your goals at some perfect time (that unfortunately never comes)? Are you everyone’s go-to person that rarely has the time required to create what you want in your life? If so, I think you’ll enjoy these 4 tips that will help you create time for anything!

This surprises most people because of what I do for work, but I am not a fan of New Year’s resolutions. I don’t know about you, but when I used to set New Year’s resolutions, I would always try to bite off more than I could chew. Not to mention…I’d never accomplish them. Looking back on it, it was because I tried to change too much too soon. When we do that, we set ourselves up for heartbreaking failure and lose confidence in ourselves and our ability to accomplish our goals.

One of the first components to creating your life of Vitality is to define success on your terms (not the terms that everyone else has created for you). This can be tough, because we often have to wade through decades of programming and a lot of other people’s ideas of what success looks like.

When I first started setting goals for myself, a lot of the goals that I had were actually my dad’s goals.

We all have goals we want to accomplish in our lives, but our mindset often holds us back from actually accomplishing them. Here are three mindset shifts I have found to work and that will assist you in accomplishing your goals.

Can you believe that 2016 is already coming to a close? I don’t know about you, but I was really excited for 2016. Unfortunately, I ended up burning out pretty badly in the beginning of the year and had to spend much of it recovering. It was such a bummer, because I had such high hopes for 2016. Maybe you feel the same way about this year?

If you know me personally, you know that one of my greatest pleasures of creating Vitality is building our little community. Through my own personal experience, I have found community to be one of the greatest ways to encourage people to follow their goals. It’s a huge reason I finally decided to create Vitality’s membership program (which will be launching by January 2017). Here are three ways that being in a community helps you reach your goals:

I have a little confession to make: I am a huge fan of making quantum leaps. You know, when you have an a-ha moment that seems to shift you overnight and change seems soooo easy. Unfortunately, hoping for a quantum leap all the time hasn’t proved to be the best means to accomplish my goals (lol). So let me share with you what has been. While it may seem to be quite a bit less sexier than quantum leaping…it’s sustainable and maintainable and a process you can count on.
